Appendix 3 FAQs Fail to visit IP camera via IE browser

a. Possible Reason 1: network is disconnected.

Solution: connect your PC to network, check whether it works properly or not.

Check whether there is cable failure or network failure caused by PC virus, until PCs can be

connected with the command of Ping.

b. Possible reason 2: IP address has been occupied by other devices.

Solution: stop the connection between IP camera and network, hook up IP camera to PC

separately, reset IP address according to recommended proper operations.

c. Possible reason 3: IP addresses are in different subnets.

Solution: check IP address, subnet masking address of the DVS and the settings of gateway.

d. Possible reason 4: physical address of network conflicts with IP camera.

Solution: modify the physical address of IP camera.

e. Possible Reason 5: web port has been modified.

Solution: contact network administrator to obtain related information.

f. Possible Reason 6: unknown.

Solution: press RESET to restore default settings. Afterwards, connect it again. The default IP

address is 192.168.0.200, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (Some special versions, the default IP

address is 192.168.0.200, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0). No video image displayed in IE browser

Possible reason: ActiveX not installed.

Solution: ActiveX must be installed when visiting IP camera for the first time via internet explorer.

How to install: visit IP camera, click file, file download dialog will pop up, select Run or Save to

download. Please refer to ActiveX installation guide to install the ActiveX. Fail to upgrade IP camera via IE

Possible reason: security level of IE is high.

Solution: change IE Browser Setting.

Steps: Open IE，IE tools-> Internet options->Security->Custom level as Figure 52, and change

the Other parameters as Figure 53.

Fail to visit IP camera via IE after upgrade

Solution: delete the caching of browser.

Steps: open IE—click Tools—select Internet Options—click delete files button in Internet

temporary files, select delete all offline contents, then click OK and re-log in IP camera.

The images are not smooth

a. Possible reason 1: the frame rate of IP camera is too low.

Solution: increase the video frame rate.


b. Possible reason 2: too many users are viewing the images.

Solution: block some clients or reduce the video frame rate.

c. Possible reason 3: the bandwidth is low.

Solution: reduce video frame rate or video compression bitrate.

Forgot Password

Solution: there is a RESET button on the back panel of the IP camera, press it for 1-2seconds,

then release it for 1-2 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Camera will restore all default parameters

(Factory Settings), user name and password are "admin" and "pass".

Note: please don’t press RESET if you are not a professional operator. After reset, all parameters will

restore factory settings (except for the physical network address).

There is no sound while monitoring

a. Possible Reason 1: no audio input connection.

Solution: check audio connection of the host.

b. Possible Reason 2: the audio option of IP camera is off.

Solution: check audio parameter settings to see if you have opened the audio.

Device search software cannot find device

Possible reason: device search software adopts multicast protocol to perform searching. But the

firewall forbids multicast data packet.

Solution: disable the firewall.

Image processing does not work properly

a. Possible Reason 1: system issue, DirectX function is disabled, which will cause slow display of

images and abnormal color.

b. Possible Reason 2: hardware issue, graphics card does not support image acceleration and

hardware zooming functions. (For hardware issue, the only solution is to replace graphics card) .

Solution: install DirectX image drive, then StartRuninput DXDIAG as follows:

Note: Enable DirectDraw speedup, Direct3D speedup, AGP veins speedup in DirectX function. If cannot be

enabled, that means DirectX installation fails or hardware not supported.
